Conclusions. 330 $aThis book highlights some of Kenneth King?s diverse contributions to international and comparative education, African studies and development studies over more than four decades. From his pioneering work on the first educational commissions to Africa, through his research on skills training in the informal sector, and on to his critical analysis of education analysis in development agencies, this book makes influential materials available in one place. Appropriately, it illustrates his career-long connections with Kenya, but also his more recent engagement with Japan, China and India. It is the first CERC volume to pay significant attention to the policies and politics of skills development. Kenneth King is an Emeritus Professor of the University of Edinburgh. He was based in and directed its Centre of African Studies for many years, and lectured on international perspectives in education and training in its School of Education. His research interests have addressed the politics and planning of skills development, including in the informal sector of the economy, aid policies towards education of both Western and Asian donors, and higher education cooperation. He founded NORRAG, the network for international policies and cooperation in education and training, in 1986, and edited NORRAG News until 2016. He was President of the British Association for International and Comparative Education (BAICE) from 2014-2016, and was one of the founding members of the UK Forum on International Education and Training (UKFIET). 410 0$aCERC Studies in Comparative Education ;$v36 606 $aInternational education  606 $aComparative education 606 $aProfessional education 606 $aVocational education 606 $aEducation?History 606 $aPoverty 606 $aArea studies 606 $aAbility 606 $aInternational and Comparative Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O13000 606 $aProfessional & Vocational Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O35000 606 $aHistory of Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O44000 606 $aDevelopment Aid$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913040 606 $aArea Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22045 606 $aSkills$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O53000 615 0$aInternational education . 615 0$aComparative education. 615 0$aProfessional education. 615 0$aVocational education. 615 0$aEducation?History. 615 0$aPoverty. 615 0$aArea studies. 615 0$aAbility. 615 14$aInternational and Comparative Education. 615 24$aProfessional & Vocational Education. 615 24$aHistory of Education. 615 24$aDevelopment Aid. 615 24$aArea Studies. 615 24$aSkills. 676 $a379 700 $aKing$b Kenneth$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0376280 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349328003321 996 $aEducation, Skills and International Cooperation$92531953 997 $aUNINA
